"Sir John Soane: The Royal Academy Lectures contains the full text of Soane's lectures. It is a revised and abridged edition
of his award-winning book Sir John Soane: Enlightenment Thought and the Real Academy Lectures. Watkin explains the significance
of Soane's approach to architectural history and theory, as expressed in the lectures delivered from 1810 to 1820 as Professor
of Architecture at the Royal Academy. Providing a key that enables the modern observer to understand the work of an architect
who is widely regarded as the most inventive of his day in Europe, the lectures enable us to enter Soane's private dialogue
with an array of philosophers, architectural theorists, art historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists. They are accompanied
by a selection of the watercolors that Soane prepared as illustrations."--Jacket

A renowned scholar examines the beauty and impact of drawings and prints by Piranesi, as well as the Italian architect's relationship
with his friend and colleague Sir John Soane. An 18th-century architect and printmaker, Giovanni Battista Piranesi was a lifelong
champion of Rome, publishing more than 1,000 etchings of the Eternal City and its ancient monuments. Piranesi's English contemporary
Sir John Soane was also an architect specializing in the neoclassical style. When the two artists met, they formed a profound
and complex creative and intellectual relationship that nurtured Soane's later career. Among Soane's greatest legacies is
the London museum that bears his name, and some of its most important holdings are a number of preparatory drawings Piranesi
developed for a publication on the Greek temples at Paestum. These drawings are accomplished examples of Piranesi's topographical
observation and great works of art in their own right. This book offers exquisite reproductions of the drawings as well as
30 additional works from Piranesi's oeuvre. Together they offer a unique understanding of early Greek classical architecture
seen through the work of an 18th-century master

"The great architect Sir John Soane (1753-1837) carried out over four hundred recorded architectural commissions in London.
Although many never resulted in a finished building, these little-known commissions formed the backbone of his life and practice
and were the key to its development. Sir John Soane and London pulls together this vast archive of work for the first time
to illustrate Soane's remarkable and extensive involvement in the fabric of the city."--Jacket

Focusing on the house and museum and its considerable collections of architectural fragments, models, drawings folios and
publications, this book is about thirteen Lincoln's Inn Fields in London, England, built in the early 1800s by the renowned
eighteenth-century architect Sir John Soane. The book maps the influences, references, connections, extensions, and productions
at play in Soane's house-museum. The house, still a public museum, was highly original in its period, and it continues to
influence and impress architects and historians alike. Today's visitor is confronted by a dense, complex series of spaces,
a strange accumulation of rooms, objects and effects. This book examines the ways in which Soane enlisted light, shadow, color,
fiction and narrative, vistas, spatial complexity, the fragment, and the mirror to produce a spectacular space

The essays in this text demonstrate the two dominant qualities that run through Soane's work: his handling of space (primarily
his interiors); and the evolution of his abstracted linear style. His life and public role is also considered
